Well, i caved and POAS two days early yesterday and of course BFN swiftly followed by start of stomach cramps, headaches and later yesterday, AF. *sigh*...Feeling generally cr*ppy but will feel better when the hormone storm passes I think and i am into the 'O' phase and the hopefulness of another month.

T-hopes: hope all goes well with your dad's surgery.

Mildez: sorry for BFN

Murray cod: welcome back. Well done on all the blood taking and good luck for the biopsy. It's hard coming up to milestones like birthdays isn't it? It makes you reflect and sometimes that's not a comfortable thing. But just remember you are still young. I hope turning 30 will be just the start of a run of good things for you.

Hi Bons, sorry you're feeling 'meh' and double whammy of DH away. Lots of hugs to the furbabies for comfort hey?

Alice: I know what you mean about feeling bad when you seen others pregnant at same stage as you should have been. One of my circle of friends announced her 12 wk pg the same week i lost my 12wk baby. She recently had her baby and i still (4wks later) have not sent congratulations. I can get away with it because we are usually in contact via mutual friends rather than directly but i think i'm really just avoiding it because i feel sad about how we both should have had babies by now.

Kitfaerie can relate to you too: I feel sad when i see women with pregnant tummies or pushing young babies in prams. I too am trying to distract myself by thinking of good food to eat in the next 2 weeks that is outlawed when pregnant.

Too late for more personals for tonight so will just say hello to all the other lovely ladies. It's getting too hard to do everyone in one go, sorry. GOod luck to all those in the uncertain TWW.
